Question

Photos come out white and hazy

I stay in a very humid country, an dont often use my camera. I recently had the ccd replaced, but now i'm experiencing photographs that are coming out very misty, almost as if a fog was present on a clear sunny day. it appears on the preview on the lcd and when you transfer to a laptop.I'm not sure what has caused this but suspect its because i keep my camera in storage without charging for long periods.

Please help me repair this problem.


Answer

first off I'd turn the camera on and examine the camera from the front to see whether there is any residue/fog/dirt etc on your lens or light sensor. If nothing is obvious then i would open the camera using thisguide and take a good look at all the parts for corrosion/mould etc. I think either your CCD connection has been effected by the humidity or their is condensation/mould on the light sensor (so that the camera thinks it's dark and is then overexposing your images) I would have thought that any condensation on the inner lens would have rendered images fuzzy/blurred/spotty, not over bright.
